<p>The Bandra Worli Sea Link is an iconic structure in the city of Mumbai. The 4.7 km long Sea Link has two parallel independent 4-lane carriageways for north bound and south bound traffic. In India, the bridge has demonstrated many firsts: the first Sea Link using solely precast segmental construction, the first cable stayed bridge across a sea, the first cable stayed bridge with a single central pylon. The Sea Link has two cable stayed bridges on each carriageway, along its alignment, which are very outstanding. The Sea Link as such is a masterpiece in bridge aesthetics.</p><p>This paper presents in brief the structural components and the construction details of the towers and deck of the Bandra Cable Stayed Bridge.</p>
